Gearbox Reconditioning – FAQ
What does gearbox reconditioning mean?
Gearbox reconditioning involves dismantling the entire unit, replacing worn or damaged components, thoroughly cleaning internal parts, and rebuilding the gearbox so it operates almost like new.
What are the signs of gearbox problems?
Difficulty changing gears, grinding noises, slipping gears, shaking, or leaking transmission fluid are all warning signs. If you notice any of these issues, visit Pit-air Motors for a full diagnostic check.
Do you repair both manual and automatic gearboxes?
Yes. Our Croydon workshop is equipped to service, repair, and recondition both manual and automatic gearboxes.
How long does gearbox reconditioning take?
Most gearbox reconditioning jobs take two to five days, depending on the complexity of the gearbox and the availability of parts.
Is gearbox reconditioning cheaper than replacement?
Yes. Reconditioning is usually much more cost-effective than installing a brand-new gearbox, while still restoring excellent performance and reliability.
Will a reconditioned gearbox last as long as a new one?
When rebuilt correctly using quality parts, a reconditioned gearbox can be just as durable and dependable as a new unit.
Do you provide a warranty on reconditioned gearboxes?
Yes. All our reconditioned gearboxes come with a warranty on both parts and labour, so you can drive away with confidence.
Can you collect my car if the gearbox has failed?
Absolutely. We offer vehicle recovery across Croydon and South London to safely bring your car to our workshop for repair or reconditioning.
